So I'm finally back for a long working trip. I haven't been able to get update on this game or anything relate it, so I will like if any of you could update me on this.

I have read before that the game runs better on Windows 8. Should I make the switch from 7 or is not worth it?

Any idea how a single 760 would perform on this?

Sorry, I was busy playing and the performance was changing pretty rapidly.

I didn't get a chance to test it with a single card, but I have to imagine if you're still playing @ 1080p/60hz that a single GTX760 will be fine. Windows 8 does have performance benefits, but they also fixed a lot of the initial W7 issues. You do not need to upgrade, but if you do, you may have a somewhat smoother experience. The DirectX 11.1 stuff is apparently no joke. Optional. Worth it? Hard to say. I'm keeping 8.1.

SLI performance improved over BF3, especially in W8. This is largely thanks to the game's built in super sampling. I was rendering it internally @ 125%. Ultra settings, no AA. 100 FOV. 80-90ish FPS. Great image quality.

If you get another one.. I'd read about G-SYNC and consider a G-SYNC monitor in the future. 120hz/144hz monitors have sorta been made obsolete by Nvidia's new kit.

That will be my next gaming purchase.

Yeah the G-SYNC stuff look interesting. I will like to see some testing first. Hope they release some good IPS monitors that works with G-SYNC.

I will consider Windows 8 if I can get it on a good price. Probably will be the case from now on that games will perform better on W8, so I might just upgrade to be ready for it.

EDIT: Have you check reviews on the R9 290X?

If the price is 550$, Nvidia should drop their price soon.

I have. It looks like good competition for the GTX780. It's only $100 cheaper though. I wouldn't expect massive price drops.

Remember: 760 SLI is Titan fast and $500 too :)

Without a similar solution to g-sync I can't even be bothered to think about AMD. Not even a little. A proprietary API isn't making up that difference.

Nvidia is releasing a 780Ti now. I hoping that the 780Ti gets the same price as the 780 and they lower price for the rest. I just want to get my second 760 cheaper :P

Are all of the 780ti cards 12GB? I'm not sure. Because if so: nope, not happening.

G-Sync impression via DICE:
Tim and John are established game-engine gurus; fast approaching that status is Johan Andersson, DICE’s technical director, and architect of the Frostbite engines that power several EA titles. As a man known for pushing the boundaries of technology, we were keen to shown Johan G-SYNC.

Following the G-SYNC demo, Johan simply said, “Our games have never looked or played better,” adding, “G-SYNC just blew me away!”
Johan Andersson is writing the Mantle code for BF4 :P

Don't think is going to be 12 GB. Probably gonna have the same as the 780 with more cores and probably more Mhz. The 780ti is expected to be between a 780 and a Titan. Read this http://videocardz.com/46955/nvidia-announces-gefor...

That's good to hear. I'm really looking forward to see more of G-SYNC.

It is going to be amazing. To 1080p or 1440p. That's the real question.

Grift how the game have been runing for you in comparison with Beta?

I have only be able to play just for 5 minutes. I wasn't able to touch video configuration, but everything set on high on auto, I was getting +70FPS on those 5 minutes I play, and that with not the recent drivers from Nvidia on Windows 7. When I get back from work I will do much better testing with better drivers.

Even with everything set on High the game looks great.

Does it still have that annoying stuttering from the beta?

The beta didn't even have the annoying stuttering from the beta.

Hard to say.. relatively similar, I suppose. I haven't played much of the beta map, and the performance does tend to vary per map.

The beta did have a stuttering performance, atleast on win7 anyways.

They patched it out in the first few days of the beta.

But some people, me included, still noticed it was still stuttering, its there but less with the patch. They even mentioned a long list of fix and stuff after the beta what they were gonna work on, and Win7 stuttering and loading stuck screen was on top of that list.

Yes

I finally did plenty of testing on my system and for me it goes to all places. There are maps that on everything on ultra without AA the FPS varies between 60 and 80, no problem, but other maps like the Shanghai map it goes between 20 and 100 like crazy, and some of the areas where I get those low FPS don't even have that much graphical effects, and this sometimes happen even on medium settings. This is a mess. I'm definitely gonna upgrade to Windows 8 to see if I can get better stability there.
